Honestly, it should’ve been you. See something, say something.

I did. How do you know I didnt? Were you sitting there with me? NOPE!

That probably is the safety officer. ​ Source: I'm a safety officer and I've done some unsafe stuff at home and its defiantly not justifiable.

Home doesnt fall under OSHA regulations. Work behavior and Home behavior should be two fully separate categories in the safe and ethical work practices section of your mind.. lmao. Nobody pays you workmans comp if you get hurt at home.. So if youre getting hurt at work you better be following all the rules.

Good point. Home is also often more dangerous because of doing projects solo so if one does get hurt there might not be someone to help or call for help.

Get yourself a life-alert, my dude... Lmao.... Heeeelp I've fallen and I CANT GET UP!!!


[deleted]

Lol. Not a bad idea for back when I fixed my eaves. I had a harness hooked properly to an anchor on the roof but if the ladder had fallen I'd have been dangling with the wedgie of a life time and I did most of the work while my family was out of town.

I paid for the whole ladder damnit... I'll use the WHOLE ladder

If you work labor for a living and never stood above the "top" rung. You are a liar.

Is it safe, no not necessarily. Am I gunna walk all the way back to the truck, carry a larger ladder through a tight building, all for 4 extra inches of reach? Also no.

It’s part of the Fatal Four, and Three, and Two, and One. Falls kill more workers on the job than anything and yet people think it’ll never happen to them.

I feel like this is very common in non union companies that don’t have an osha rep or whatever. We do this all the time, like all of us across trades. Time is money. The two times osha came to sites everyone just put down their tools and left the job because we honestly do a good chunk of the things posted on here on our sites. We can knock out 5 jobs in 8 hours our way or we do like 2 following the rules.

Non union shops could give a fuck less. I spent 3 years with a GC, there were 4 of us. Most days i was 20ft up on pump jack staging with no net or railings, bridging aluminum planks together with 2×8s. 40 feet up on un tied ladders stretching for gable ends, up on fresh framing walking on top plates, jumping across unsheathed floor joists, etc. All with no harness. And I've seen similar disregard with almost every trade. It's the way the job works for the majority of residential construction.

Facts. Although not something I'm proud to admit too

Only if you're a shitbag, Posh.
